The powers of the Elemental planes touch upon one point, forming the powerful being of O'Hl.
His existence came into being.
This established the calendar as the "Reconignition of O'Hl, or RO".
O'Hl Creates a new world. The planet is formed and cooled, allowing life toform and thrive. O'hl populates the planet with flora and fauna as a new pallet to create his art.
The primordial elemental powers form life on O'Hl's newly created world. As their elemental materials touch they form life, allowing the new world to give life to their new forms. This was the birth of the Titans. This was done without O'Hl's permission.
Alphoryx, the greatest Titan declares himself the King of all titans, Making his generals loyal to him, royalty, and establishing the hierarchy of the Titans. Alphoryx garners powers to rule the rest of the titans from the Primordial powers, angering O'Hl. The haughty Titans lay claim over all life across the planet, disregarding O'Hls natural laws. Many of the titans formed cliques and began claiming portions of the planet to build their own little kingdom upon.
Bilantir and his highest Arcane Titans create the original five Creator Races. Dragons, Giants, Ashrana, Hunari and Sekteros all were born of various titan cliques. Dragons, large Reptilian winged creatures, Giants, massive humanoids. Ashrana, the Large feline humanoids who were masters of Metal. Hunari, the four armed insectoids who excelled in hidden dark arcane secrets. And finally, the Sekteros, snake-like reptilian humanoids with legs of a serpent, unmatched in their tactical prowess and military might. these children of the Titans grew their tribes to run the continent of Edus.
Alphoryx The Titan God-king created the first true dragon; Astyrinntal the Original. A huge gleaming gray dragon with the knowledge of the titans themselves. Selyktrix the Winged, Rustyryc the Flame, Bolynrek the Strategist and Ilyri the Magical joined together and using Alphoryx's guide, formed the original 13 True Dragons of both Mettalic and Chromatic.
The titans watched their leader, Alphoryx and his loyals create dragons, knowing they would have control over their creations. Other titans deemed their land worthy of Servants loyal to them.
Edgrogyr the Abundant blessed three titanesses; Bettila the Strong, Riflyrra the Stone, Aulynn the Cold with children, and the first giants were born soon onto Edus.
The Titan Doboros The Vigilant, Animar The Wild, and the Titaness Vertasher The Bold merged their magics and created a feline race of humanoids.
Born of blood full of honor, courage and combat prowess, the Ashrana were born into the wild steppelands of the middle of Edus continent.
Kjeveril the Arcane, Moloch-kor the Masterful, Gerynna the Tactician and Dresilyr the Shielded all use their inherent titan magic to create and form an insectoid race. This race was to be used as workers, builder and guards for their temples.
The Hunari were set in the southern deserts of the new Edus continent, across the entire southern coast and even onto the southern continents of Cordasia and Tumerria
Seshinta the dark, Reylyntira the Serpent, Agoroth the Hidden and Creshti-manu the Changing created a race of reptilian creatures. These creatures were named Sekteros and the dark pact of titans argued how best to form them.
Some of the Sekteros were given lizard qualities, while other Sekteros were formed with the visage of a snake. The difference in the Sekteroes started becoming mutations as they intermingled
As O'Hl punished and banished the titans from Edus, They performed one last strike. The titans formed elemental powers far to the south and opened portals totheir elemental planes. This allowed The Dao, the Efreet, the Marid and the Djinn To enter Edus and become powers of diefic level for the ancient people of the Southern Lands of Al'Shiael and Takesh.
Unasked for permission of creation by O'Hl, the Celestial god punished the Titans for their Creator Races. O'Hl punished the Primordial Powers by banishing them from Thaaed, cutting the Titan's power off from their source. As the titans declare war upon O'Hl, The god imprisons the entire race, locking them deep in the Astral Plane. One Titaness, pregnant, is hidden deep within Edus, away from the watchful eye of O'Hl. This titaness escaped O'Hl's wrath.
The titans gather and watch as the ongoing fighting between the Giants and the True Dragons spill over to the other races created by the same titans.
